respectfully requested.

ALLOWABLE SUBJECT MATTER

The Examiner's allowance of claims 1-38 is respectfully

grammatical improvements and to correct some minor antecedent
basis problems so as to put the claims in better form for
issuance in a U.S. patent.

No new matter has been added, and no new issues with respect
to patentability have been raised.

Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the
amendments to the claims be approved and entered, and it is
respectfully submitted that claims 1-38 remain in condition for
allowance .

It is respectfully submitted, moreover, that the amendments
to the claims are not related to patentability, and do not narrow
the scope of the claims either literally or under the doctrine of
equivalents .
